These were just my initial, first drafts of the ST:TNG crew. If I decide to actually create the characters I'll certainly make Worf Half-Orc. @NthDegree256 I'm glad that you liked this post. I must admit that I knew I needed to change Data's name to something more Eberron, Schema came to me the day before I published this article. I think Carmin’san d’Orien is a pretty good Eberron sounding name. @Nick Wedig

Even better than the time I was brainstorming a new BBEG, a master thief who has used her dragonmarked affinity for teleportation magic to pull off her daring heists of some of the greatest artifacts and monuments of Khorvaire. She has been denounced and excoriated by her House for her actions, but she still proudly takes the House name, and after each mysterious theft inquisitives are left wondering... where on Eberron is Carmin'san d'Orien?

Worf's backstory is all about being a Klingon raised by humans and trying to find a medium between the two cultures and such, which is classic Half-Orc territory.
